Brickbat: Have It Your Way

When a local Burger King in Cobb County, Georgia, got his order wrong, Sheriff Craig Owens Sr. knew what to do: He called for backup and three on-duty deputies arrived. "Hey, do me a favor. I need to get, all I need is the owner name of whoever owns this damn facility or the manager," he said to one of them. "I wanted…a Whopper, no mayo, cut in half, right?" He added, "I don't need no damn money back no more. I just need to find out who owns this place so I can do an official complaint." It isn't clear why Owens couldn't get that information himself. The deputies went to the restaurant and found the employees had locked themselves inside because they have had issues with angry customers before. The deputies got the information the sheriff wanted and gave it to him. Owens told a local TV station that it was a private business matter, he never identified himself as the sheriff, and the deputies didn't do anything for him they wouldn't do for any other person involved in a business dispute.

Unless Cobb County voters are complete rubes, this guy is royally screwed.
He's OK, then.
This incident was a whopper.
The small fry sheriff should be grilled over this.
Certainly gave the employees a shake.
Pretty sure they are only looking skin deep at Mr Owens, Sr in Cobb County
Was the LP candidate working there that day?
The king for one set of king's men is an empty-headed court jester with a fake, plastic smile plastered across his face that serves as an empty facade for the meat grinding going on behind the scenes, The King for the other set of king's men is the mascot of a hamburger franchise.
But does he prefer extra mayo between the buns?
"...and the deputies didn't do anything for him they wouldn't do for any other person involved in a business dispute."
Ass Joe Blow ordinary citizen... "They got my burger wrong!!! Waaaah!!!" Here come three deputies to help me and hold my hand for me!!!
Yeah, right, buddy!
"Dem burger Kings is raciss!"
(Crude way to make sure we know how to determine injustice based on skin color.)
>>the deputies didn't do anything for him they wouldn't do for any other person involved in a business dispute.
bodycam footage of the Delusionally Grand is always a hoot.
"I wanted…a Whopper, no mayo, cut in half, right?"
What a fag.
Anything else your highness?
He wants someone else to eat it for him too.
You wouldn't have posted that if you saw his figure.
Easy to see how the county got its name...
